In case you’ve never actually played Lemmings, though, here’s what to expect: up to 100 Lemmings will spill into each level through a trapdoor, and you need to click on them and assign them jobs to guide them to the exit. Depending on what you tell them to do, your Lemmings can climb, float, dig straight down and bash through walls. They can create diagonal tunnels, build stairways, block other Lemmings from walking into danger and even blow themselves up, if you need a big hole somewhere.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
